Immersion Nozzle

Swirling flow in an immersion nozzle is effective on improving quality of casting block and casting speed in continuous casting process of steel. However, a refractory swirl blade installed in the nozzle is liable to cause clogging, which limit the application of the process. In this study a new process is proposed, that is a rotating electromagnetic field is set up around an immersion nozzle to induce a swirling flow in it by Lorentz force. New types of swirling flow electromagnetic generator are proposed and the effects of the structure of the generator, the coil current intensity and frequency on the magnetic field and on the flow field in the immersion nozzle are numerically analyzed.

Pros And Cons

The results of an experimental study of the forced and periodic breakdown of a confined vortex rotating in the opposite direction are presented. The vortex tube consists of two chambers connected by a short conduit through streamlined transitions. The upstream end is closed by a plain wall, and a circular orifice is provided at the downstream end. The swirling flow and the breaker-vortex are generated by introducing varying proportions of air or water through tangential ports located near the upstream and downstream walls of the unit. The cases of single breakdown and periodic breakdown are explored and typical data are presented for each case. Finally, the pros and cons of the two existing transition theories are discussed.

Today, the most promising and effective method of quality control of the continuously cast billets is electromagnetic stirring of the melt. In this case, an important component is the effect of the stirring on the jet in the nozzle. Moreover, as research has shown, this method is highly dependent on the configuration of the inner channel of the nozzle. Research have shown that positive or negative taper of the inner surface of the nozzle allows to obtain different results after applying EMS. Taper control completely changes the pattern of the melt flow and its deceleration in the mold, especially when it is casting of large billets. The results of the research show that minor changes in the taper of the nozzle significantly increase the effect of EMS implementation, which is observed already at 0.27 % of positive the taper and increases to 0.54%.

Abstract This paper presents an aproach for the prediction of heat transfer augmentation in decaying swirling flow in a pipe by making an analogy between the increase in friction factor due to swirl and increase in heat transfer due to swirl. The proposed method can be used to predict heat transfer for decaying swirling flow in smooth and rough pipes which can be applied to different swirl generators based on the known inlet swirl conditions. An experimental study is performed regarding the swirling flow of air in smooth and rough pipes. The experimental study covered only the fluid dynamics of swirling flow. No heat transfer experiments were done. It is determined experimentally that in swirling flows degree of swirl decays continuously along the smooth and rough pipes and the total loss factor is the sum of friction factor for non-swirling flow and the swirl loss factor. Swirl loss factor is found to be a function of the degree of swirl and pipe relative roughness. Using the relations obtained experimentally for the variation of swirl strength and loss factor along the pipe, an equation is proposed to be used for the prediction of heat transfer in turbulent decaying swirling flows.
